Rating: 5 / 5
It is hard for me to rate this book. Most of the material was a review for me from my previous readings. Much of it was too basic to be of any use. However, I strongly recommend it for beginner investors or for investors with little familiarity with value investing. Mizrahi’s writing is clear and is a nice combination of qualitative and quantitative factors that investors must consider. If you enjoy Peter Lynch’s books, you will like this one even more.
If you are a more advanced investor, I strongly recommend Greenwald’s Value Investing, which is probably the best book I have read on investing so far.
Rating: 4 / 5
This is a very good book for beginning value investors. It gives a very good overview of investing and teaches what value investing really is and the differance between investing and speckulating. It does a good job of explaining the stock market as a whole and how it works and what advantages the small investor has in todays world. It makes for interesting reading.
Rating: 3 / 5
This is a book that everyone can understand and enjoy. It lays out the basics of value investing, but with enough meat (quotes, case studies, etc.) to keep already educated value investors happy.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about value investing.

As in do not judge a book by its cover, this is another example of why. Though pitched to novices on the value investing process, it is much more, and value can be obtained even if reviewed by veteran value investors with years under their belts. A few of the highlights are surely:
Chapter 3 – “Market Caveats: Lessons from the Past” that provides the framework for investing in stocks,
Chapter 5 – “Who’s in Charge? Management Counts” to explain the importance of picking not only great business, but great managers as well,
Chapter 9 – “The Price of a stock versus the Value of the Company” in explaining how price and value differ,
Chapter 10 – “Your Own Worst Enemy” is devoted to reminding you about some of the mistakes people make in the way they invest,
Chapter 11 – “My Final Words of Value” is a nice roll-up of key points to remember.
All in, a worthy addition to any investment collection as one should not let the cover fool you into thinking this a too rudimentary effort as it is worthy of your time. However, if you are new to value investing, a highly recommended starter book for your soon to be growing collection.
